Seriously, the first posted reply to this comment by jcgf points out why, but in his or her brevity jcgf doesn't bother to point out what everyone who's actually THOUGHT about this already knows: P2P is NOT inherently to be used to spread copyrighted information. The problem isn't that filesharing is like stealing a credit card, it's that some people are 'propagandized' enough to THINK that filesharing is like stealing a credit card. Manufacturers of small cheap trinkets had better be worried because their time is next. Now just imagine once 3d printers become cheap enough for the common household. If you want to do anything, push to have the copyright terms brought back the reasonable timeframe they initially were. Since economics require a balance of supply and demand, and since copying can be done infinitely (killing any such balance) then economic restrictions are in place so that economic activity can continue. The issue is that in so doing, you destroy the merchantability of the work in question. duh? The issue isn't that "copying" a work deprives the original author of his or her copy. Your money was taken from you leaving you with less (I hope your insurance covered it).Įh. Digital files can be copied without depriving the original owner of theirs, be it software or music.
